Day Seven - A picture of someone/thing that has the biggest impact on you

My Munchkins photo by Dani of Wheatbelt Photography

Without a doubt the three munchkins in the photo have had the biggest impact on my life.  Whilst I can remember my life pre children (and it was pretty good) I can't imagine my life without them.  They never cease to amaze me regardless of whether they are being angelic or devilish!

They have put my husband and I on the path of constant learning (and promtly forgetting, thank you very much baby brain).  And, as much as I am their student, I am their teacher.  Once a career person I now spend my time guiding my children in what I hope is the right direction. Thankfuly I don't get lost often *runs looking for the UBD*.  Parenthood 101 for the rest of my life.

This is one of my favourites quotes from Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh about being a mother:

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born.
She never existed before.
The woman existed, but the mother, never.
A mother is something absolutely new.
